3 Value Bombs

1) Just because something is saturated doesn’t mean it’s competitive.

2) The biggest mistake most people make is simply going off ideas that’s not backed by data.

3) Entrepreneurship is already hard enough. Make things easier for yourself by figuring out what’s in demand. Don’t just guess your way through and think that things are going to work themselves out.

Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: How To Make Passive Income Using publishing and AI

[1:77] –  Anthony shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.

• Slow and steady does not win the race. The fastest winner wins the race. That mindset can often lead people to stay stagnant way too long without progressing.

[2:23] – How realistic is it to make passive income, specifically with publishing?

• After you create the audio book and submit it to ACS, which is the platform you can use to upload your audiobook on Audible, that is 100% passive.
• Kindle Direct Publishing is very passive.
• Put that product to the world and then you don’t need to touch that product and still generate an income.

[4:48] – A way to guarantee a book created will make money.

• Most people go wrong when it comes to publishing a book is they believe they have a good idea and the good idea is gonna make them money.
• We overlook an important part of publishing our product, which is knowing the demand out there. The market does not care about your idea. It’s all about what your idea can do to a customer.
• Find a proof of concept. Look for 3 or more books making 500-1000 per month and have under 100 reviews.

[9:15] – Will this stuff that Anthony was talking about become saturated in the near future?

• Just because something is saturated doesn’t mean it’s competitive.
• There’s only one you. It’s important to create the best book, the best product. Because when you do that, you stand at the top. The best will always be the best, no matter how saturated the market is.

[14:14] – How do we know if we’re on the right track?

• Look at where you’re projecting. Knowing you’re on the right track is simply tracking the numbers, the key performance indicators in your business.
• Know your inputs and what your actual outputs are. Know what the feedback is telling you.

[15:59] – Anthony shares about other people’s mistakes.

• Entrepreneurs sometimes think that a good idea can make them millions rather than looking for what’s in demand.
• The biggest mistake most people make is simply going off ideas that’s not backed by data.

[16:55] – The type of content creator that today’s contents are best suited for.

• Publish a book and use AI specifically to consolidate and distill the wisdom from your podcast, from your blogs, from your newsletters, and distill that into a product that your audience can use.
• Today’s contents are for entrepreneurs or content creators with long-form content. They had much work out there that they’ve produced in their words and their writing ideas that are flushed out that they can use AI to help them start building out a book based on their ideas.

[19:02] – Anthony’s key take away and call to action.

• Entrepreneurship is already hard enough. Make things easier for yourself by figuring out what’s in demand. Don’t just guess your way through and think that things are going to work themselves out.
• Try to look at the data. Try to look at what’s currently in demand, whether that’s with your podcast content, what topics are currently in demand, whether that’s with your book, what topics are currently in demand that you actually care for.
